2. War Machine
James “Rhodey†Rhodes has been through a lot lately.
The comic character died kind of pointlessly in Civil War 2, and his film counterpart went through a grievous injury that left him paralyzed without the suit. In comics and film, Rhodey was introduced as Tony Stark’s normal buddy at first, but then later got to wear his own suit. Comic book Rhodey even got to sub in for Tony for a while. The Iron Man who does stuff in the original Secret Wars? Yeah, that ain’t Tony Stark.
But in animation, he actually started off as pretty much his fully formed version. In the 1994 Iron Man cartoon, Rhodey was Tony’s friend out of costume and the heavy duty hammer known as the War Machine in costume. The dude has pretty much been that ever since.
Some shows do take too long to get him into costume, though (cough…cough, cough…Iron Man: Armored Adventures, it really took you a whole season?).
